The shooting death of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, could have been easily avoided. Instead of telling his constituents that the state of Minnesota was at war with the federal government, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) could have cooperated with federal law enforcement. Instead of banning federal agents from city property and accusing Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials of “terrorizing” the community, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey could have worked with ICE to ensure federal law was enforced as safely as possible.

Instead, Walz, Frey, and countless Democrats nationally demonize ICE agents at every turn. Walz has called them the “Gestapo,” Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Delia Ramirez (D-IL) have called ICE a “terrorist organization,” and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has compared ICE to “slave patrols.”
